I am having a problem that has stymied me. I recently loaded the Clarkson Packet driver for the 3Com 3C523 card and the BYU IPX for packet driver on PS/2's on a NetWare 2.15c LAN. I did this so that I could use the packet driver version of NCSA Telent. NCSA works fine, every application I have tried has worked fine, EXCEPT PageMaker 3.0. The people on the LAN using PageMaker can run ok for a while and then the application will lock up the PS/2 requiring a reboot. Has this happend to anyone else and do you have a solution. I have listed below what happens when I start the network workstation software.

My user would open Excel charts like crazy, then the machine would hang. If he closes each chart as he goes, there's no problem. PageMaker squeezes so much memory, it can't even display an Alert box, which leaves the user mystified when the system goes away. Hope this helps.
